Instructions

  1. Let`s get to the USA snack food classic:
  2. Fry the two onions, add the garlic and chilli, add the mince and fry until crumbly. Add tomato paste, roast it and then deglaze with the can of tomatoes. Add more tomato paste, possibly also diced paprika if you like it. Simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes (preheat the oven for the fries) then add the beans and corn. Simmer for another half an hour, then season with salt, pepper, cumin and possibly more chilli. If you like it, you can also use dark chocolate, coffee and / or whiskey to refine it in the cowboy manner, that`s a matter of taste. Let simmer for another half an hour while putting the fries in the oven. If the chilli has become too hot, a mug of sour cream will help.
  3. That would be the chili con carne, if you want to stop here - if you want the most delicious snack in the world, you have prepared the french fries in the meantime and now pour them onto a deep plate.
  4. Now a generous portion of chilli on top and a thick layer of cheddar, the whole thing in the oven, which is still hot, until the cheese melts, decorate with olive slices, diced paprika or jalapenos to taste.
